I think it's worth switching to git. I personally haven't contributed more because I don't know mercurial and don't wish to install it just for one project. Git is more popular and could possibly attract more contributors.
As far as moving to another platform, not sure it's necessary. If it's not too much trouble and has the same or more features, than go for it.
